Hello, games that keep evolving
- by Ben Kerry
Six months or so after it first introduced the initial Worlds update for No Man’s Sky, Hello Games is back again with another huge overhaul for its Xbox Game Pass adventure.
No Man’s Sky: Worlds Part 2 is out now on Xbox, and again, it’s another big old update from Hello Games here. Players can expect “new stars, new story, and new classes of planet – including gas giants, water worlds, and ruined civilisations” along with “new terrain shapes and biomes and a total overhaul of lighting systems, improved water rendering, faster load times – and much more!”
“Update 5.50, WORLDS PART II, transforms the universe with new stars, new story, and new planets. Explore ancient ruins, gas giants and water worlds, and discover strange creatures, varied biomes and dramatic terrain. Featuring new gameplay, huge improvements in lighting and water rendering, and much more.
Our journey continues.”
In all honesty, if you’re interested in trying this new update out, it’s probably worth reading through Hello Games’ huge blog on Worlds Part 2 – it contains so many improvements and changes it’s hard to list them all here. Alternatively, you can check out lead dev Sean Murray’s deep dive on the No Man’s Sky update in the video down below.
At the time of posting, No Man’s Sky remains an Xbox Game Pass title, and the value Hello Games has brought to this experience over the years is staggering. NMS didn’t have the easiest birth, but it’s developed into one of the most accomplished adventures on Xbox – and clearly, the team isn’t done with updates just yet.
Who’s still playing No Man’s Sky, then? Talk to us about Worlds Part 2 down in the comments.
